Introduction
+
+ phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user)
+ but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need
+ a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired
+ database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the
+ MySQL manual. Currently it can:
+
+
+ - create and drop databases
+
- create, copy, drop and alter tables
+
- delete, edit and add fields
+
- execute any SQL-statement, even batch-queries
+
- manage keys on fields
+
- load text files into tables
+
- create and read dumps of tables
+
- export data to CSV values
+
- administer multiple servers and single databases

Installation
+ Quick Install:
+
+- Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
+ tar xvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar
+- Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
+ the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
+ Have a lok at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.
+- It is recommended that you protect the directory in which
+ you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet),
+ for example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess-file).
+- Open the file //index.php3
+ in your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen
+ and your databases.
+
+
+ Installation notes:
+
+- Be sure to protect the phpMyAdmin-directory. By default, it is not
+ protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and
+ especially not by search-engines. Although I've added a "nofollow"
+ directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't
+ care about that and still follow the links on the page.
+ Think of AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database"
+ You can get an overview of Apache's authentification methods at
+ http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth . Another tutorial is at
+ http://deepthought.texsci.edu/protected_dirs.html
+- If you don't use the extension ".php3" for your scripts, you can use
+ the bundled script "extchg.sh" to modify phpMyAdmin (or any other script)
+ to work with a different extension. Beware though, that currently changing
+ the extension from .html to something other won't work (it'd change all
+ "string".htmlspecialchars() constructs).
